I absolutely love those Amel boats. There's some of the sweetest go anywhere boats available. Family back to your narration on a cream sorry to interject myself

Are “GS” and “CS” synonymous terms? I also found “AH” (Angry Howlers) also works. :-)

Not sure what a "CS" is, but I am sure they are all the same!

How to you avoid having boaters
“GS’S” running over your balls?

Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago

Good question! But, GS's usually don't move much. You find them in Marinas, or at anchor in one place for a LONG TIME.

Thanks for showing us how your balls work......A serious question though, How long are the lines between the chain and the Balls? Are they all the same length? Hope you have a great week, see ya in the next Vid...

Sailing Aquarius Around The World - 6 years ago

That my friend depends on the size of your balls and the weight of your chain! You need to practice playing with your balls and get the length just right. To be serious, I put the first ball between 18 and 22 meters, and the second at about 28 to 32 meters.
